Hearts boss Robbie Neilson: 'Players have been magnificent all season'

Hearts manager Robbie Neilson lavished praise on his title-winning players following their 2-0 victory against Queen of the South in the Scottish Championship.

In the wake of the Jambos' first home match since they were confirmed as champions, their head coach declared that they have been "magnificent" all season.

"All season they've been magnificent for me. I'm really pleased for everyone, it's a fantastic day," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

Hearts owner Ann Budge echoed Neilson's sentiments, admitting that she "couldn't be happier" with how the season has played out.

"I couldn't be happier, Like every other supporter in the stadium here today, I'm delighted. We've got the plans well in hand for next year," she said.

Hearts have lost just once all season, a 3-2 home defeat to Falkirk in January.
